7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known-that I, vVVILFRED E- GER-RY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chartsfor FountainPens, of which the followingis a specification.

able one to determine the proper pen point with which to write and has for its object the presentation, in tabular form, of a 'variety of specimens of handwriting, and also having associated with such handwriting legends informing the user of the chart of the proper kind of a penpoint with which of specimens of handwriting, shown in lines 2F, 2M, 3F, 3M, 4F, 4M, 5F, 5M, 6F, 6M 4.1m, 4FM,-5FF,- 51 M, err, 61PM, 2H8, 2s, ans, as, arts, is, 511s, 5s, ens and 6S, and I have illustrated a series of pen points, or nibs, similarly designated and with which the handwriting occurring in the corresponding linewas written. 'For' instance, the s1gnature"Joseph1ne McGee in line 3M was written with a pen nib labeled 3M in the upper portion of the chart, and so on. V I

In order to use my improved chart it is only necessary for a person to select whichever one of the signatures on the chart mo'st nearly resembles his own. done, he refers to the legend at. the left of the signature, which legend informs him of the pen nib which would be most suitable to the handwriting of the particular inditage in the 7 handling of fountain pens. These pens come with a variety of nibs or hand.

This 1 being a In witness whereof points and it is a matter of quite a good deal of trial and experiment for thecustomerto select the nib which best suits the customers By use of my improved chart, all that is necessary is for the customer to write his namein his ordinary'handwriting. His

signature is then compared with my improved chart and a signature is selected My inventlon is an. lmproved'chart to enwhich most nearly corresponds with the sig nature of the customer. The legend at the left of this selected signature will then designate the proper pen nib to be used by the customer. Having obtained this information, this nib can be selected from the dealers stock at once and will be found to suit the style of handwriting individual to the customer.

Many improvements, and variations may I be made from the precise arrangement of .the chart herein shown wlthout departing from the spirit 1 of my invention, since I claim: r i
